(Wikipedia links contain spoilers, natch.) List subject to change without notice if I remember any more awesome vessels!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>The Millennium Falcon</strong> – “I got your promise: not a scratch?”</li>
<li><strong><span class="caps">USS</span> Enterprise-D</strong> – Icon of my formative years. I still physically wince when I watch <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cause_and_Effect_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)" target="links">“Cause and Effect”</a>. Or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Generations" target="links"><em>Generations</em></a>, but please, who doesn’t?</li>
<li><strong>Serenity</strong> – My favorite episode is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_Gas" target="links">“Out of Gas”</a>.</li>
<li><strong>(<span class="caps">SSV</span>) Normandy</strong> – Hey, <a href="http://faerye.net/post/i-love-mass-effect" target="links">giving me a ship</a> is a good way to engage my affections. If you have a yacht on hand, I invite you to check if this works for non-fictional craft!</li>
<li><b><span class="caps">HMS</span> Surprise </b>- Yes, I know there are real <span class="caps">HMS</span> <em>Surprise</em>s. But none of them have Jack Aubrey’s initials carved into the cap of the masthead, which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Surprise_(novel)" target="links">this one</a> does.</li>
<li><strong><span class="caps">USS</span> Enterprise (-A)</strong> – It is a classic, I’ll admit.</li>
<li><strong>The Dawn Treader</strong></li>
<li><strong>The White Star</strong> – Despite the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Star_(Babylon_5)" target="links">dilution effect</a>.</li>
<li><strong><span class="caps">USS</span> Defiant</strong> – It looks like an anteater, but then, my high school mascot was an aardvark.</li>
<li><strong>Johnny Dooit’s sand-boat</strong> – From <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Oz" target="links">The Road to Oz</a></em>. If anyone reading didn’t need to be told, then I salute you!</li>
